Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, diced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 head of romaine or butter lettuce, leaves gently separated

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, add the shredded or diced chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine all ingredients until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the creamy mixture. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

      Chop the Vegetables:

        - In a separate bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and slices of avocado. Gently toss the vegetables together, taking care not to mash the avocado, to maintain the integrity of the chunks.

          Assemble the Wraps:

            - Take a fresh lettuce leaf and place it on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken mixture into the center of the leaf. Top it with a tablespoon or two of the mixed vegetables. For added texture and a nutty flavor, sprinkle some chopped walnuts over the top if desired.

              Wrap and Serve:

                - Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling, creating a secure wrap. Repeat the process until all of the lettuce leaves and filling are used up. Serve the wraps immediately for the best taste and texture, pairing them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

                  Enjoy:

                    - These refreshing wraps make for a perfect light lunch or dinner option. Their crispness and creamy filling are sure to delight your taste buds!
